Pressing Enter button in puppeteer

rated 0 times [ 66] [ 1] / answers: 1 / hits: 94600 / 7 Years ago, wed, september 27, 2017, 12:00:00

Pressing enter in puppeteer doesn't seem to have any effect. However, when I press other keys, it does what it should.
This works:

await page.press('ArrowLeft');

This doesn't:

await page.press('Enter');

This is how the input looks like:

Any ideas?

EDIT: I've also tried page.keyboard.down & page.keyboard.up to be sure.

await page.type(String.fromCharCode(13));

Using this site I noticed that page.type dispatches beforeinput and input events, but page.press doesn't. This is probably a bug, but fortunately sending the enter keycode (13) seems to work, so we can work around it for now.
